Biography
Born in Beijing, she longed to become a voice actor from a young age. In high school she participated in the creation of doujin games, original drama CD, etc. and participated in voice actress/singer-related activities under the name of "kkryu".[2]
In 2006, she became a student of Beijing Foreign Studies University's Japanese language institute[3] and in 2008 graduated from the university. During her time at BFSU, she was an exchange student in Japan, studying at Aichi Bunkyo University[3] for ten months.
After graduation she studied again at the Nippon Engineering College (NEEC) for two years. While studying, she appeared as a 7th grader in the show Dream · Dream · Party.
In an interview in 2016, Ryu said that she was influenced by the success of Romi Park in the seiyu scene and realized that voice actors of non-Japanese heritage could have a successful career.[3]
